Behind that window
Behind that window
It's been years since my friend
And brother
Didn't put carnations in his lapel
Behind that window
You can't even hear any stars
Behind that gate
If that wall could walk
If that wall could walk
I wouldn't I don't know what I would do
I don't know
If my knife cut it
If that wall moved
And a huge scream if I heard it
Of a child at birth
br/>Perhaps time would flow
Perhaps time would flow
And your voice would help me
To sing
Harder the millstone
And faith, yours companion
More powerful is the well-aimed arrow
And the rivers that go to the sea
Behind that window
Behind that window
It's been years since my friend
And brother
In the night that follows the day
In the night that follows the day
My friend sleeps there
On his feet
And your profile announces
On that cold wall
A song of joy
In the coming and going of the tide
Behind that window
Behind that window
My friend
And brother
Didn't put carnations in his lapel
Behind that window
You can't even hear any stars
Behind that gate
* To Alfredo Matos, when he was arrested by PIDE.
